League Rules

• To participate in RCSSC sporting events, individuals MUST fill out and return a The Waiver before the first game of the season.
• For any and all RCSSC activities, participants must be at or over the age of 22 years.
• RCSSC expects all of its participants to behave in a sportsmanlike manner. We define a sportsman as one who shows qualities of fairness, courtesy, and grace in winning and in losing. Sportsmanlike conduct is expected at all RCSSC sports and events. Unsportsmanlike behavior may result in the suspension or removal of a player or his or her team from participation in all RCSSC sports and events.
• RCSSC offers three leagues for competitive play: Social, Super Social and Extreme Social. SOCIAL is designed for teams and individuals who love to socialize and have GOOD athletic skills. SUPER SOCIAL is designed for teams or individuals who love to socialize and have LIMITED athletic skills. EXTREME SOCIAL is designed to be all about socializing.
• All games must start on time, and all referees must arrive at least 5 minutes before game time. Fines will be assessed when teams do not have the required number of players or do not provide a scheduled referee.
  (See rules regarding fines.)

  

• RCSSC will supply all field equipment and rent fields or venues. The RCSSC will also provide each participant an official RCSSC team shirt and arrange Coors Light beer specials at the RCSSC sponsor bars.
• Outside sponsorships:   The RCSSC will allow teams to collect funds only from businesses that do not compete with RCSSC partners or official bar sponsors. Teams that are “sponsored” by an outside bar or other competing organization will not be allowed to participate in any playoff games and will not be allowed to return to the league in subsequent seasons.
• Players can only play on one team, regardless of league, per sport.   Players who violate this rule will cause both of their teams to forfeit all games in which they participated, and a forfeit fine will be assessed against both teams.

RCSSC is an organization that encourages members not to take winning or losing too seriously, and stresses that the social aspects of the league are really more important than a win or a loss.

• We expect all participants to behave in a sportsmanlike manner, on and off of the field. We strive to ensure that each member “shows that he or she has qualities of fairness, courtesy, and grace in winning and in losing.”
• Unsportsmanlike behavior will result in a player/team being suspended or removed from participating in all RCSSC sports.

OFFICIAL RCSSC BAR SPONSORS(S)

• Official Sponsors: We invite and encourage you to join your fellow RCSSC members at our official sponsor bars after each game. COORS LIGHT and the official bar sponsors help to keep the cost of the RCSSC affordable for everyone. The bars sponsor the RCSSC because of the large economic impact we have on their business. The sponsor bars are where the entire league goes to grab a cold Coors Light, meet old friends and make new ones. Other bars in the area^-did not contribute to the RCSSC and are not official sponsors. Therefore, out of respect to the businesses that keeps your fees affordable; please patronize those sponsor bars that are supporting you and the RCSSC. The names of sponsor bars will be provided on the website.
• Problems: If there is a problem that needs to be addressed at our bar sponsor(s), please contact the RCSSC and we will contact the owners directly to resolve the issue.
• Outside sponsorships: The RCSSC only allows teams to collect funds from businesses that do not conflict with our partners or “official” bar sponsors of the RCSSC. The RCSSC will not accept funds from companies that are in direct competition with our official sponsors or partners. Teams that are “sponsored” by a bar/restaurant will NOT be allowed to participate in any play-off games and will NOT be asked to come back to the league the following year.
